In the code it appears that you can attach 32 SCSI CDs without changes. In the MAKEDEV script (on my system anyway) it is limiting you to 7 CDS, and so you'll have to make the device entry points by hand. I assume you want them in parallel and so that a changer isn't an option. -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc. Voice: 508 433 6936
